What should I know before my treatment?

Patients with known allergies to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid should inform the medical professional prior to the treatment. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that increases your comfort during the procedure. Hyaluronic acid is a modified polysaccharide that works to moisturize and soften your skin. Since it is a protein, a few patients have reported allergic reactions to the ingredient. You should stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen and fish oil supplements for 2 weeks prior to injection, to decrease your risk of bruising at injection site.

What should I expect after my treatment?

After the procedure there is minimal recovery or downtime.

You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas.

Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing.

One treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles for up to 1 year! However, results may vary and correction is temporary. Supplemental treatments may be required to achieve and maintain optimal results.
